Wolf Pack running back Stefphon Jefferson, who has rushed for more than 1,700 yards and scored a school-record 23 touchdowns this season, was named a third-team All-American by CBSsports.com on Monday.

Jefferson has had one of the best seasons for a running back in school history. His 1,703 rushing yards rank third in a single season in Wolf Pack history. He's 29 yards behind Chance Krestchmer's record of 1,732 set in 2001. Jefferson has set the school record for carries (341), rushing touchdowns (22) and total touchdowns (23) in a season.
